Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A burger list is a list of builds. This page has four takeaway shops, two in Macleod and two in Watsonia, each with burgers or chicken on a printed menu.
Short list. Honest list. Where a shop prints the fillings, we quote them. Where it does not, we say so and leave the build blank.
We checked each shop against its own site or ordering page and a second listing, and every price is copied as printed on the day we checked. Hours are given only where a site lists them. Go on an arvo, ring ahead.
